A Prayer of Good Will

I share right now the bliss and the law of justice with those whom I have

met, with those whom I have not met, and those whom I will meet in the
future

Om, Shanti.

I evoke the best to my fellow humans, colleagues and every being I have
met.

I hope all persons with whom I interact liberate themselves from the
causes of pain, and from selfishness - a powerful source of suffering.

May my soul lead me away from ignorance. I wish everyone rises in the
path to Peace.

Each human being is my brother, even if he doesn’t know about that. I
keep away from imprudence. I reject carelessness and voluntary forms of
ignorance. In the depth of silence I see Equilibrium.

Side by side with detachment, we find wisdom. Kind thoughts for the
others have the same substance as right thoughts regarding oneself.

The faults of my colleague are my mistakes. The virtues of my brother are
also mine. Cowards think they can benefit from the defeat of others.

I am severe with myself and generous with those around me.

I know sincere goodwill does not accept indulgence: it is due to their selfishness
that the lazy and the false stimulate indolence in others.

A combination of altruism and severity produces peace. The right kind of
vigilance makes one demand the best from himself and from others.

It is not my goal to say to people what they wish to hear. I practice
abstention from falsehood.

Wishing the best to one’s fellow beings is a sober attitude and has
nothing to do with appearance. It includes both agreement and disagreement. It
is inseparable from frankness. It doesn’t have an outward form, and yet it can
be seen wherever there is goodwill.

Emitting generous feelings for others is an immediate way to be happy. As
every other event that takes place in the soul, this practical action is
invisible, silent, and effective.

Blessed points of view show the higher aspects of life. I invoke that
which is best and most elevated to the lives of those who interact with me, and
those who don’t.

I wish they eliminate the absence of peace. May everyone attain
contentment by treading the path of simplicity.

I share right now the bliss and the law of justice with those whom I have
met; with those whom I have not met; and those whom I will meet in the future.

Shanti,
Om.
